New Covenant Fulfillment- Part 3

We will be leaving these monthly prayer insights open for revision as they are two years old but written in close drafting to our knowledge base in light of more defined findings of today. We have laid the foundation, but we will extend a broader scope and definition on each of them as we have more informed data to enrich them, improve and expound on their greater meanings. We look forward to your love and support with each update!

"Combating a Spirit of Fear: New Covenant Fulfillment: Part 3"

FORWARD,

"We firmly believe that the realization of the New Covenant is not merely an optional, subjective choice based on feelings or external circumstances. Rather, it is an essential position that demands our utmost attention and commitment, as it is through this covenant that we can find reconciliation with God and experience His loving embrace in a tangible way. Through this covenant, we can witness the power of the Gospel, which strengthens our faith and gives us the courage to face the storms of life that challenge our very identity in Christ.

As we navigate the vulnerable and often unpredictable nature of human existence, we must be vigilant in identifying and addressing the subtle nuances of fear and doubt that threaten to erode our sense of self-worth and control. We must not be swayed by our own confirmation biases or the false sense of security that comes from our successes, virtues, or sense of righteousness. Instead, we must anchor ourselves in the firm foundation of God's truth, which assures us of our worth, completeness, and eternal potential.

It is only through prayerful diligence and a steadfast commitment to God's will that we can avoid the traps of fear and doubt that threaten to ensnare us. These spiritual traps can slowly chip away at our faith and sense of purpose, separating us from God's reality, love, and reason. We must wake up to these dangers before they take root and grow into something larger and more dangerous, sapping our confidence and leaving us vulnerable to the relentless storm of shame and hopelessness that threatens to engulf the body of Christ in these end times.

You may find yourself striving in your flesh, bound to fear and defeated by a lack of self-worth in the midst of the storm that rages around you. In a world that is constantly in conflict, we can become desensitized to the chaos and accept it as the norm. But when everything around us collapses, we cannot expect to rise above the turmoil without first acknowledging the inward turmoil that we face. It is in this state of vulnerability that we become susceptible to the insidious workings of fear, doubt, and insecurity. These negative emotions can upend our sense of assertiveness and self-confidence, leaving us adrift in a sea of uncertainty and chaos, with no certain direction or purpose to guide us. In such a state, we are prone to succumb to the forces that seek to undermine us, removing the certainty in which we once prevailed. It is therefore essential that we remain steadfast in our faith, and rely on the power of God to anchor us in the midst of the storm, providing us with the strength and fortitude to endure whatever trials may come our way. We are warned about our unbelieving desperation at the expense of His words to us at the heart of our wounds.
In shame-you open the door to vanity; In pain-you bow to throngs of work with a passive neglect of perfect design; In blame, you open your doors to rough guests of plenty who offer you the same; and in broken desperation do shake hands with the idols of this present world. We give credit to financial analysts getting doomsday fears ascribed to our bottom line...yet fear never opens itself up to Christ as its most needed friend and ally!"

~CDCS RESEARCH, Kevin Simon.
 

Dear readers,

We extend our sincerest well wishes to you and would like to take a moment to remind you of the boundless potential that resides in God's promises and the vital importance of trusting in His infinite and unwavering grace.

As we journey through the trials and uncertainties of these times, it is all too easy to succumb to the pervasive influences of fear and the ceaseless clamor of the world, seeking guidance in all the wrong places. Yet, it is of paramount importance to remind ourselves that God has imparted to us the keys of power to surmount any obstacle and to reconnect with Him.

The new covenant that God has established provides us with an all-encompassing and unfailing provision that transcends our earthly limitations and brokenness. It is a promise that imbues us with the power to become complete in Christ and frees us from the shackles of fear that inhibit us from embracing His promises and bearing witness to His divine grace.

Let us not be lulled into a slumber of feigned piety or misguided rejection of Christ, but let us uphold the integrity of our testimony and our devotion to the wholeness that is found in Christ.

We offer this message as a timely and much-needed affirmation of the transformational power of the new covenant and the boundless capacity of God's love to effect change in our lives. It is critical to reaffirm some key tenets of our faith that are essential to our growth and progress in Christ.

As we navigate through the turbulent currents of life, we may find ourselves ensnared in a cycle of fear and striving that threatens to sunder us from God. But we must remember that it is only through God's power that we can overcome these tumultuous undercurrents and rise above the brokenness that surrounds us. By embracing His promises and aligning our hearts with His will, we can bear witness to the transformative power of His perfect love.

We must be ever vigilant against the corrosive effects of fear that threaten to undermine our testimony and lead us astray. It is easy to become mired in a distorted view of God and the world, slipping into a torpor of apathy and stagnation. We must not embrace 'forms'- diversions and improper derivatives from the main presentation- of godliness that are incongruent with Christ and reject those that foster victimhood or that cast aspersions upon Christ.

As we continue to move forward, we encourage you to place your faith and trust fully in God's promises and to rely on His unfailing grace. Let us focus on what is empowering in the dynamics of faith, and not be dissuaded by the ephemeral (temporary) illusions of this world. By doing so, we can experience the freedom and completeness that comes from walking in the Spirit.

• Let us journey in faith, always being mindful of the transformative power that comes from embracing God's promises and rejecting the debilitating spirit of fear that can stifle our progress. We must rely on the Gospel witness of His perfect love, which has the power to conquer every obstacle we face and enable us to fully experience the transformative power of the new covenant.
• An essential key to accessing this power is recognizing that God has ended every cycle of striving through fear. He provides us with everything we need to be restored to His favor without the oppressive burden of the law. As we rely on Him, we are led to completeness in Christ through the promise of His power.
• However, until we receive these keys of power, we may continue to live as victims, hindered by the negative influences of fear and a broken testimony. In our pursuit of God, we must be mindful of the many false moves of God and misapplied themes of scripture that can serve as distractions and lead us astray. Rather, we must have unwavering faith in God's promises, allowing His perfect love to guide us towards lives of freedom and purpose.

May the Holy Spirit of God continue to lead us into all truth, and may we be emboldened to embrace the transformative power of the new covenant in our lives.

Timely Message:

The pathway to genuine power is not found in striving, but rather in surrendering ourselves to God's ultimate purpose and provision for our lives. Our inability to keep the Law leaves us with a choice to either pursue restored favor with God through Christ's fulfillment of the Law or to continue striving and inevitably stray from Him. In the midst of our brokenness and shattered places, God has promised to provide us with the keys of power that will make us whole and complete in Christ, shielding us from returning to those places of despair.

There is no need for us to exert effort to discover God through the Law, for He has already graced us with the gift of His love and the transformative power of the new covenant. It is incumbent on us to acknowledge this truth and seek to live in the completeness of Christ, trusting in the reality that we are forever justified and embraced by God's love. With this mindset, we can live in a perpetual state of wholeness and victory, unencumbered by fear, anxiety, societal pressures, and assured of God's unfailing provision for us. Until we have received the keys of power, we will live as victims. We refer to fear which impedes our acceptance of God's promise and causes us to veil ourselves behind broken testimonies.

A. In support of this notion, fear compels us to hide behind what God is not saying, mistaking a false move of God or a broken testimony as His doing, focusing on the wrong aspect, or misconstruing the theme of scripture.

B. Fear lulls us to sleep within forms of godliness, presenting a distorted image of God and biblical reality. What leads us to lethargy, stagnation, and superficial exuberance with no profoundness or veneration? Fear causes such a subtle progression, which we cannot perceive as it distracts us from the empowering dynamics of faith when applied accurately, resulting in a stance against it.

C. During the collapse of all things, are we clinging to forms of godliness? Do we indeed resemble Christ? If Christ is not manifested within us, where God cannot attest to our reverence and devotion towards what He deems complete, we become open to negative responses born of fear. In such moments, we clutch onto notions of godliness that render us victims, finding flaws with Christ.

D. The testimony we conceal behind, driven by that fear, propagates a negative outlook on God. Any inclination that leads us to seek God under the context of the Law stems from darkness, from a brokenness that we mostly control.

CITATION UPDATE 2/16/2023 2:21am: Our data extensively covered this matter at length. We believe it is the bread and butter of most of our findings, and you would all do well to let it soak in deep more than most of the matters we cover here.

2 Timothy 2:26 says the devil's attacks are not always ones in which we feel certainty of, but ones in which take on a false identity we link with a failing of God's goodness or hand of support in our lives. Taken in by inversion by lack of assertiveness in which they propagate, removing the certainty in which they prevail. It takes the righteous pureness and expression of Gospel clarity to even begin to tackle the enormity of the complexity of how fear presents itself on places appearing indefensible, and unique to the person who needs its uncertain benefits as it feeds off of the value the person doesn't know they truly need to thrive. Our embattlements from a striving effort keep those benefits far from reach. We call these impossible places that need breakthrough. Ranging from insecurity, acceptance, moral equivalency, personal standards, emotional disparages driving one to idolatry and fulfillment in strongholds in the works of the flesh. It is a contrary spirit to the work of the Spirit breaking validation of our complete revelation Christ represents in our function and ability handling the truth of His Word.
Even leadership by set standards- holding to prominent values- are challenged to find the key of handling this topic in this instruction: "there is a will to defeat your life through fear so you never recover from the damage."

As humans, we tend to act based on what we have been feeding on, often looking for confirmation that it is true. But when we do not know its effect of subtlety, we may attach these conclusions to biblical reality without proper discernment. This leads us to question whether this is the self-defeating trap mentioned in this passage. We need to be more vigilant in discerning the real agenda of fear, which is to raise an unnecessary alarm over something that God already sees and has control over. This helps us avoid reacting in our flesh, thus preventing us from becoming victims of our own reactions and falling into the hands of the enemy. A sure sign of this cycle of progression is found in human dynamics we relate passively as normalization of these patterns, or interactivity in the realm of projection of raw emotion untethered to principle or God appraised value. In our lives, we've witnessed reactions often toward demonstrations of God's former confirmations or breakthroughs where our freewill indeed has met with intervention, but when something triggers a 'pain cord,' we question the ongoing validity of the love of God even as it is influencing the extent of our untouched areas lying dormant in our personal story at present. Do you think God is observing our weakness to keep Him a priority instead of being dissuaded by our fear He has overlooked us?

The devil's attacks often take on as the role of an offering to us of false identity, causing us to doubt God's goodness or provision. This can lead to a self-defeating trap, as our invalid fear and doubt react in ways that play into the hands of the enemy- with very little effort, but most profound on what is unguarded. 

"The first step towards falling into the trap of fear is often our misguided attempt to earn favor before the law, either by appearing outwardly righteous or by convincing ourselves of the purity of our intentions. Such a mindset, however, reveals our underlying unbelief in the merits of Christ and distorts our perception of our true selves, leading to a disunity with the perfect image of God. Instead of being unified in the fulfillment of the New Covenant, we find ourselves drifting towards a powerless existence, a far cry from the life that God intended for us. A broken cry of enragement nearer to the pain of pushing Christ away would serve at the behest if the devil indeed could force our heart in any which way or direction! What is the focus of fear in the hand of our enemy offered as a gift to our present need? This tendency towards self-reliance and self-righteousness plays directly into the enemy's hands, who uses our unfounded fears and doubts to create chaos and confusion in our hearts, causing us to question our faith and trust in God with little effort but profound impact on our unguarded hearts." Despite requiring little effort- by the weights and burden so easily besetting us- these attacks can have profound results on our function and ability to thrive in God's fulness."  ~CDCS RESEARCH, KEVIN SIMON.

• It is important to discern the true nature of our fears and doubts, and to recognize that God is always in control, even in the midst of difficult circumstances.

• Our fears are often unfounded or exaggerated because they are amassing on the very virtue of what unites us to the strengths we find in a living witness of Christ's presence-and our reactions acting unfavorable to receive them can lead us to feel distant from God and doubt His promises.

• It's important to remember that God's promises are not dependent on our circumstances or feelings.
• The fact it happens in nuances and not a full effect gut punch at first is where the progression leads to a final result of breaking our sense of worth and control over a situation that separates us from reality, from love, or reason, but has no basis in truth in our circumstances. 
• God's defined stratagem of our inner fear perpetuates- in fact, exposes the more serious waking need of reconciliation on the bounds of His loving embrace. Thus removing the abstract idea of faith toward a realized witness of God's hand we receive tangibly in areas broken by fear.

As stated before, the initial phase of succumbing to fear is often rooted in our desire to appear "good" or to gain favor through our own efforts, rather than relying on the merits of Christ and the perfection of His image in us through the New Covenant. This misguided approach sets the stage for a self-defeating trap, as our unfounded fears and doubts gain traction and lead us down a path that plays right into the enemy's hands. Despite the subtlety of his attacks, the impact on our unguarded hearts can be profound and far-reaching.

It is crucial that we recognize the true nature of our fears and doubts and avoid the temptation to react in ways that reinforce these negative emotions. Instead, we must resist the enemy's advances and trust in the promises of God, which remain true and reliable even in the face of difficulty or uncertainty. By seeking wisdom and discernment through prayer and study of scripture, we can gain the strength and clarity needed to break free from the self-defeating trap and overcome the attacks of the enemy.

In doing so, we align ourselves with the perfect image of Christ and the fulfillment of the New Covenant before God, rather than clinging to our own flawed perceptions and misguided efforts. Through steadfast faith and a deepening understanding of God's grace and provision, we can overcome the machinations of fear and doubt and step boldly into the abundant life that God has prepared for us. So let us be vigilant and wise, holding fast to the truth of His promises and the power of His love, even in the midst of uncertainty and challenge

QUESTIONAIRE REVIEW:

1. How can we avoid falling apart when the new covenant offers us the key to accessing power by relinquishing our urge to strive fueled by fear and God has promised to grant us these keys of power?
2. How can we determine if the forms of godliness we cling to are truly helping us if we have not yet faced the storm, and if we are unaware of the subtle progression that causes the storm, how can we recover from it?
3. When fear becomes our refuge in the storm, are we aware that the challenge we face is to let go of incomplete and inaccurate concepts of Christ that do not keep us grounded and complete? By holding onto a voice of fear that contradicts the voice of God, we create a testimony with no power, leading to the final stages of collapse. The end times are not fulfilled until an accurate testimony of the voice of God is provided, as worse days are promised to come. How can we keep ourselves from falling asleep in these times of trouble?
4. How can we defeat the incompleteness that ensnares people under the context of the law and causes us to lack reverence for the power of God? Are we being driven by fear, caught in a cycle of reform that replaces our dependency on God's promise, which is perfectly designed to lead us to Christ?
5. In summary, these questions address how we can overcome fear and incompleteness in our faith, recognize the power of God's promise, and maintain an accurate and complete testimony of Christ in the face of the storms of life.

A SUMMARIZATION OF OUR DATA POINTS: From our December months of fasting and prayer are as follows,

From the most recent newsletter forward up to this point, the following are the essential key takeaways, promises, and perspective of new covenant fulfillment, and the leading of the Spirit relating to the subtle progression of fear and striving producing unbelief in the last days:

Powerful and consistent exploration of our notes highlighted (8) key points of striving and how to overcome them. Our research embodied in literary form concluded this exact number.

1. The key to accessing power in the new covenant fulfillment lies in relinquishing the urge to strive fueled by fear.
2. The storm is coming to challenge everything not grounded, complete, or accurate in who Christ is.
3. Fear builds upon an incomplete view of God that has no value to keep us from being ensnared in the final stages of collapse.
4. The darkness of idolatry in the last days creates the concepts of unbelief - the very basis of disagreement with Christ's accomplishments regarding our view of the law.
5. The intended goal of manifest darkness in the last days is to conform to a broken image of Christ and get us trapped in cycles of victimhood where spiritual warfare keeps us subdued, superficial through patterns of fear.
6. The key to successful spiritual warfare is not going at the darkness with human might but deferring spiritual protest gaining from fear into God's hands.
7. Living in the Gospel standard of witness means depending on the Holy Spirit to conform us to the image of Christ apart from the Law.
8. The Spirit gives witness over our trials and points us to Christ over what the Law says we can't do through our own ability.

To prepare for the last days, we should consciously desire to deepen our relationship with God, seek to understand His promises and leading through the Holy Spirit, and surrender our fears and striving to Him. By depending on the Holy Spirit to transform us, we can live in the Gospel standard of witness and overcome the darkness of idolatry in the last days.

WHAT GOSPEL WITNESS OF POWER MEANS IN YOUR PRAYER LIFE:
Our data set from 11:12:2021 officially established our findings and clarity on these matters:

 In accordance with the correct voice of God, seeking Him brings validation to our prayers when we "Pray in the Spirit." This act of prayer is not some mystical, invisible event, but rather it means to pray with the completeness of Christ's rest in the New Covenant. Our prayers are based on the promises and administration of Christ's headship. We do not pray haphazardly, in 'show of feelings,' cryptic mystical leanings of diverse gifting with no assignable purpose, false hope, self-focus, diverse directions or against random opposition that may trigger us. Instead, we direct our prayers towards the perfect plan of God and the reverence of who Christ is...This is how we pray in the Spirit to overcome!

~CDCS RESEARCH, KEVIN SIMON

CONCLUSION:

When we find ourselves struggling with a spirit of fear that seeks to defeat us, it's easy to become overwhelmed and feel distant from God. But when we draw near to Christ and embrace the completeness of His promises, we become more attuned to the true nature of the battle before us. We begin to realize that the voice of doubt that once seemed so powerful is nothing more than a petty distraction, unable to withstand the mighty hand of God that upholds and sustains us.

In these moments, our faith becomes a powerful witness to the world around us. As we see the real and tangible support of God in every aspect of our lives, we are no longer reactive in our impulses or driven to the brink of our limits. Instead, we are unified in heart and mind with the perfect plan that God has for us, knowing that there are no limits to what we can achieve or overcome in Him. It is through this closeness with Christ that we find the strength and resilience to face any trial or challenge that comes our way. We are not defeated by our fears, but instead, we are emboldened by the knowledge that God is with us and working in us, empowering us to be the overcomers that He has called us to be.

We are in Him, rooted and grounded in the promises that He has given us, and nothing can ever separate us from His love or the abundant life that He has promised to us
